So then you can use it instead!

i just started a 9 week program tuesday and im fucking hurting. Only about 25-35 mins a day but its kicking my ass. We stopped buying soda and instead ive been making a pitcher of lemonade with those 5 calorie packets. I still drink soda but not like 5 a day. And b/c this was jennas first week of school next week were gonna start eating better. She bought a bunch of shit to make dinner with next week.

Awesome man.

Yeah the 9 week is brutal. I'm almost through it though! Are you using weights with it or the tension band?

yea i got weights but they are only 5lb each

_________________

Cool beans. I kind of wish I had 5lb ones for some of them... I'm such a weakling. There is one you have to do where you hold them behind your head and have to do squats, then when you finish the squat you have to raise them over your head. It's fucking brutal. My arms are shaking all over and by the end I can barely lift them. Hahahaha.

haha the boxing pisses me off. The Kinect sometimes doesnt pick up when im punching. Also when im running im just waiting to crash thru my floor hahaha

_________________

Hahahaha yeah man I feel the same way about running, and the jumping. I try to be as light on my feet as I can, but still, I wish I could do it in the basement or something.

How is Kinect for picking up everything else? I still hate when the sensors don't work on the PS3 version. It drives me nuts.

Yeah, I get really angry when the sensors don't work right.

This game killed me today. When I saw Foot Fires pop up for the 3rd time I wanted to drop kick my TV, but I didn't have the energy to do so.

_________________

Not going to lie, I've skipped foot fires when it hits the third time on several instances. Same with mountain climbers. Sometimes I just don't have it in me.

Also, I've turned jump roping into jumping jacks. Sensors still pick it up the same. When it goes from Foot Fires to Jump Roping it's just way too much, so I had to come up with something that was similar but breaks it up a bit.

Probably going to order it tonight. I have to order something off of amazon for my buddies wedding so I might as well make the shipping worth it haha

Awesome. I look forward to you joining the team.

its not bad. Pushups and crunches you do on your own and just follow with the guy. Other then boxing most of the stuff is pretty good.

Man, now I want to try this out. I'll have to pressure the wife into actually pulling the trigger and getting it.
Or maybe I'll just do it myself.

I can't do it. It kills me, but I don't want to skip anything.

It felt like all I got was mountain climbers, foot fires, and squats today. I was losing my mind on the squats because they were being really sketchy. My legs are about to give out and the game is lying to me, telling me I'm doing the exercise wrong. I was so pissed. Some roid rage going on in my house today.

After the 9 weeks is up I have half a mind to get a kinect and the xbox version just to do away with the stupid sensors. We'll see if the problems keep up. It's ok most of the time.

Holy shit man, 120 jump lunges in a row might be the worst thing next to foot fires. Tonight was thankfully all about the tension band/weights though, so I didn't have to do a single foot fire or mountain climber.

Also a whole half hour away from my 24 hour trophy. Hey Nate, have you looked at your milestones list? For some reason my running, mountain boarding and biking meters are not filling up. Thought that was weird.

edit: So I looked online and apparently those meters have been broken. There is a link to your milestones on their page and it appears to display some of them properly. It still says I've done 0% for Mountain Biking though. What garbage. I see there is also a Nike Starter Pack Milestone. I wonder what that is? Unreleased DLC?

edit2: The Nike pack was only up for like 2 days and then taken down. Weird.

I'm in, I'm sick of paying for a gym I never use.

do you guys just do your workout for the day or do that and something else. I always want to do a little more when im done but im to hurt to do it haha.

_________________

Awesome. It'll be great to have you in.

Hack, I've never created my own work out afterwards. Always completely done and a giant soggy mess by the time it's over.

my god. i just did mine for the day and it was a lot of squats. im fucking hurting right now. i didnt think i was gonna make it. and to make it worst the game froze half way thru. So i restarted it and just started from where it froze but i didnt get credit for a 100% workout.

_________________

Ah man that sucks. I would have been pretty ticked if my game froze.

But yeah man, squat days are the hardest shit. The legs burn man. How are those exercises on your knee? I know you've had a lot of surgery before, is it holding up okay?

the knee i had surgery on is fine. The one that has a torn ACL not so much. The one exercise where you have to do jump squats i cant do it. I tried it but that baby was about to blow haha. So i kinda of do a slow motion version hahaha

_________________

Yeah I could see that. I was thinking of you when I was doing them before and thinking that my knees were just going to cave in and that it must be hard on you. I've also read about people getting hurt playing this game too. I've thankfully never hurt myself, though I thought I was going to come close a few times. I used to hurt myself when I played the first EA Active all the time, mainly pulling muscles in my shoulders and neck.
